A fatal mistake. At the time DIR. Vance.
Of Cleveland, performed the operation on
the lady for the removal of a cancer of the
stomach he found when too late that the
Door woman had no cancer to be removed.
The disease was indigestion. and If she had
taken the Shaker Extract of Roots (SiegeIs
Syrup that awful distress at the pit of the
stomach, which made the doctors think she
had cancer, would have been removed. Dis
tress after eating, dull, heavy feeling in
the head, with pains in the side and back
all vanish after using this wonderful rem.
sdy. The tired, languid feeling gives place
to strength and vigor.
Mrs. Della Marsh writes from Pea Ridge,
Benton county, Ark. that she had dyspep-
STA in the worst form for five years, and
that nothing gave any relief until she used
the Siegel Syrup.

thirteen years. At different intervals
have been unable To attend to my business
or weeks at a time. The most of nv
trouble was in my hands and arms. The
pain was usually accompanied with con
siderable swelling of my hands. During
these years | have used many kinds OF
remedies with only temporary relief. Being
in the newspaper business had come in
contact with various medicines that were
advertised in our columns, but realy Y never
had much faith in patent medicines. A
little over three years ago my attention WAS
called to AthlophorOs. i noticed from
time to time the strong endorsement OF

medicine for my own case. Twas relieved

Indian Names and Frog Language.

The Montauks were powerful tribe of
Indians, but although their time was
largely taken up with making shell money
and stringing it together. they were not
notoriously wealthy. Their wampum was
| worth more after 1t had worked its way
| inland than il was on MOnt8uk Point
where any fool could sit down and grind
out 81 600 in cold and clammy cash in one
afternoon. On pleasant Gays they rowed
across the sound. gave the PeQuOts an
everlasting walloping. and in the evening
returned 10 their sQuaws, their mus
quitoes, their shell heaps and their names
Language IN the old days must have been
onamatopoetic: the meaning must have
oeen evidenced in the sound, and gentle
men who sat up nights making names for
Long Island summer resorts must have
been influenced by the tree toads and
frogs that abound there.
Talk OF the chorus in THE Frogs of
Aristophanes. Say over these Indian
names few times and see how incapable
the Greek is compared to Montauk In
jun. The little frog says "Mattituck," ="
''Speonk," pipes the tree toad, the bull
frog grumbles "Patchogue'' and the
swamps and woods become vocal with
"Quogue, ""Pon Qaogue, -" ''Cutchogue."
"faphank," ''Peconic." "Sagg." go
mac, 'Shinnecock. Napeague, "
"Aquebogue. Still these Indian names
are pleasant, and much to be desired above
the Smithtowns and Jonesyilles, where
with the face Of this land is covered.
James Russell Lowell does not believe in
Indian nomenclature, but he is dis
gruntled because his native town is Pigs

The Latest Feminine Fancy,

The very latest for young ladies' fancy
work Is to make yachting pillows for the
gentlemen Of their acquaintance who hap
pen TO own yachts. Every one who has
ever sailed Ger the blue water" knows
how necessary to comfort are sofa pillows
in the cabin: every one wishes to dOze or
loll about, and pillows are in demand;
there can't be too many Of them. The
pillow exclusively for yachts is covered
with navy blue sateen that is laced on TO
the pillow on either side by white cord
and tassel This gives it q nautical ap-
pearance at once. Have a design Of the
yacht stamped on one side of the blue
covering. and work in outline stitch with
white silk. On the reverse side have the
name of the yacht stamped in large letters
in old English text, and also work with
white silk in outline stitch. They are very
pretty, easily done, and a most appropriate
present. II one desires to give still more,
an ensign flag TO match is attractive, with
the initials Of the owner worked upon the
blue field as well as the name OF the Tacht.

There is word which may be called

in Chicago That is ''Dago" When or
how it originated no Italian knows. II is
not an Italian word, cannot be found in

word. 1t is commonly applied to all Ital-
ians, but sometimes more particularly to
saloon keepers or restaurateurs Italians
OF cultivation, on this ground perhaps,
consider it an insulting epithet, but have
no idea what it means or whence it was
derived. As the word had its origin in
Chicago, and seems to come trippngly
from the tongue, il will undoubtedly
maintain its hold. but any person wishing
to gain favor with an intelligent Italian

HORk OF THE GOSSIPS.

patches gave an account OF what WAS sup.

ant Totten, In . card to the New York Her
a,d, says Ibis wife and children have been
under his care and protection during the
entire period of their absence. and that
they left West Point by the advice
of the family physician" An ex-
change follows with the following very ap-
propriate and pointed remarks:
The only basis for thus attacking the
character Of these innocent people was the
fact that young Darr and Mrs. Totthn left
the Point upon the same train. The gos-
sips have done all the mischief possible,
and can now repent al leisure. 1t is pity
that such slanderers IS these cannot be pun
ished as they deserve. Almost every COM
munity Is cursed with such tattlers, who
are continually discussing and criticising
their neighbOrs and associates. They scent
evil where none exists. and impute motives
born Of their own evil imaginstions.

The Chatsworth railroad horro. becomes
more appalling the more it is investigated.
Somebody is responsible for the accident
and the guilt should be placed where il
properly belongs. The railroad company
is At work, the same old dodge. trying to
create the impression that the train was
wrecked by tramps for the purpose of
plunder. Such . theory gets very little
credence in the minds of sensible people.
and the company will have a dificult task
in showing this to be fact. IL the com
pany had any such suspicious and saw such
robbing and ghoulish conduct, as is now
reported. why were these fellows not ar
arrested and held for examination II is
simply the same old trick, all attempt to
shift the responsibility.

THE NEW GEORGIA Law

Under the above title the Western Chris
tan advocate Of this week has an article
which needs correction. The law" re-
ferred to is not a law yet. and il is to be
hoped ii never will be. The reference OF
the advocate is to the ''Glenn BILL" which
provides for the punishment of teachers
who admit coIored children into white
school or white children into a colOred
school, The punishment Of the teacher
for such admission is tine not to exceed
s., 900, imprisonment not to exceed six
months. and work in q chain gang not to
exceed twelve months. The ldOcdtc says
this Georgia law" ''as matter Of fact Is in
principle Just such law as was in force in
Ohio until the last session of the iegisla-
ture"
The repealed law to which the idrocdtt
refers is Sec. i00s Of Revised Statutes,
which reads as follows: When in the
Judgment of the board of education 1t will
be for the advantage of the district to do so,
il may organize separate schools for colored
children" What in the world Is the matter
with the ". {. 4. to say that this simply
fact, just the same in principle - the
Georgia Law" with its outrageous penal
ties? For the credit of Ohio, we do not
want such Q slander on the state to be read
in Georgia or anywhere else. The editor.

WHAT 4 Local PAPER DOES FOR ITS
TOWN.
What a newspaper does for the commu-
nifty in which il circuates is not fully ap-
preciated by great many people; but We
are not OF that number who believe that q
newspaper ought to be continually calling
attention to the service il is rendering, yet
the following from Judge David Davis, of
Illinois, is so full OF truth that we repro
duce it. and suggest that those people who
are ever ready to criticise their home pa
pers. cut it out and paste ii in their hats
He says:
Each year every local paper gives from
500 to IS, 600 In free lines for the benefit
of the community in which it is located.
No other agency can OF will do this. The
local editor. In proportion TO his means,
does more for his town than any other ten
men, and in all fairness. man TO man. he
ought to be supported, not because you hap
pen To like him or admire his writings, but
because local paper is the best investment
community can make. Ii NAV not be
brilliant or crowned with great thoughts,
but financially il is of more benefit to .
community than a teacher or preacher.
Understand us. now, we do not mean NOR
ally or intellectually. but financially, and
yet on the moral question you will find the
majority of the local papers on the right
side of the question. To-day the editors of
local papers do the most work for the least
money Of any men on earth. Subscribe for
YOUR local paper. not As a charity but As an
investment.
